Re: Quick Tip: Jump to Line/Sequence Number

FWIW:

The default for 'locateSequenceLine' is Ctrl-Shift-L in the SEU profile.
Unfortunately, that has been preempted in WDSC 7.0 (and beyond, I believe)
by the look-up of default functions. If I understand correctly, Eclipse
3.2 is where that function was added (or removed as far as we're
concerned). Even adding a 'User Key Action' for the Ctrl-Shift-L doesn't
get it back. I added Ctrl-L (which, by default, is supposed to do a
'locateLine' function) with the 'locateSequenceLine' function. Keep in
mind if you add any key combination with 'locateSequenceLine' and don't
display the sequence lines, it will behave the same as 'locateLine'--this
is the one that counts line numbers from the top of the member. As a side
note, Ctrl-G in some parsers such as COBOL is used to show program
divisions.

[WDSCI-L] Quick Tip: Jump to Line/Sequence Number

Hi All,

Not sure if this has been mentioned here before or not, but I just added
a new User Key Action that may interest some of you.

In Seu you could type a sequence number over the current one, and it
would jump to the types sequence number. This does not work in RDi when
I try it. So I looked for a way to jump to a know sequence number.

I found Alt-L which will prompt you for a line number, but that actually
counts physical lines in the member and takes you to the 201st line if
you type 201.

In User Key Actions I could LocateLine and LocateSequenceLine.
LocateLine is the same as the Alt-L mapping, but LocateSequenceLine lets
you key in a sequence number and jump straight to it. Very nice.

I mapped it to Ctrl-G (for Goto), and it sure beats paging down through
huge members when you know the sequence number already.

Have a nice weekend,
David
